We lost Henry for most of the season and we still finished 4th, 3 more goals and we would have finished third. Take out Gerrard and Carragher, Liverpool are not the same team. If you lose them to injury you'll realise how reliant on the you are. Like Chelsea did when they lost Terry, if they had lost Drogba aswell, they were not going to challange Utd.
All the top teams have the 2 or 3 players that makes them a top team. For Arsenal its Henry and Fabregas, Chelsea, Terry, Lampard and Drogba, Utd, Ronaldo and Scholes. For Liverpool its Gerrard and Carragher. Without them for a whole season, any of those teams could finish outside the top 4, maybe even top 6.
